Comment I've never met Wayan Vota but ... (Score 1) 193

1. I don't believe he's an Intel drone. He's never hidden his GeekCorps credentials. He's simply passionate about the subject of laptops for kids in the developing world - which is what GeekCorps, and OLPC (and, perhaps, even the Classmate) are about.
2. The attacks today belong also in the category of mischief. He's actually getting married today. (No, I wasn't invited, and I'm not miffed. As mentioned: I've never met the man.) But, give the boy a break: kick him when he's in a position to defend himself.
3. OLPCNews, on more than one occasion, has printed drivel. It's made mistakes. It has criticized OLPC both when it needed criticism, and when - frankly - Wayan or other writers simply didn't understand what they were talking about.

But calling OLPCNews an Intel flack is nothing more than playground name-calling. Stop it children! Go back to your rooms.

Sounds like a plan. But wait. I won't invest in something if, once I've developed a busienss in an area, someone else can just shoehorn in, shout me down on the spectrum. Sounds like
